		</div><p>Officials at a Swedish zoo have recaptured three chimpanzees who had broken out of their enclosure, and got them back into a secure space, but four others were shot dead.</p>
<p>The Furuvik zoo said in a statement that the surviving animals are now being looked after and one who is injured is receiving veterinary care.</p>
<p>The apes had escaped on Wednesday, with some of them making their way out of the monkey house where they lived.</p>
<p>Officials were forced to shoot them because of the danger to the public. Two were shot in the zoo grounds and one was confirmed dead inside the monkey house.</p>
<p>When keepers were finally able to get inside on Saturday, they found the body of a fourth chimp.</p>
<p>“What has happened is a great tragedy and a huge failure of us,” the zoo said in a statement on Facebook.</p>
<p>“We all feel a huge sadness about what has happened and mourn our beloved chimps Linda, Torsten, Santino and Manda.</p>
<p>“We are very keen to get to the bottom of how this could have happened and the investigation may show where we have (failed) or if we could have acted differently.”</p>
<p>The zoo identified the surviving chimps as Selma, Maria-Magdalena and Tjobbe, and said Selma’s injuries were being treated.</p>
<p>The Furuvik zoo is near Gavle, 100 miles north of Stockholm. It is part of an amusement park.</p>
<p>According to the park’s website, it is also the only primate research station in the Nordic countries.</p>
<p>It is not the first time in recent months that animals have escaped from Swedish zoos.</p>
<p>In October, a venomous king cobra escaped from its terrarium at a zoo in Sweden but returned by itself after a week.</p>
